Jaime Kaplan Endowed Fund for Girls Athletics
Q:
How does an endowment work?
A:
Stratford Academy will invest your gift with others into this endowment fund. The principal remains untouched. Each year, Stratford will pull the distribution – like dividends on a mutual fund account – to support our student-athletes. Investment returns above the distribution rate help value of the endowment increase over time.
Q:
What is Stratford's Distribution Rate?
A:
Stratford’s Distribution rate is 4.5% of a rolling 20 quarter average. This rate allows Stratford to account for changes in the market, while supporting our student-athletes.
